Chapter 83 It’s just a small hot pot
As soon as the words came out of his mouth without thinking, Cheng Xuezhou knew that something bad was going to happen.
So when Cheng Xuezhou saw the trainees and staff around him all turning their heads to look at him, he felt cold sweat running down his back.
"I mean..."
He pulled the corners of his mouth with some difficulty, "Why would someone go to the utility room to eat... Haha, isn't this unnecessary?"
Cheng Xuezhou smiled dryly, pretending to wipe away the sweat with his hands, but in fact he was secretly wiping away the cold sweat caused by nervousness: "If someone really hid snacks, can't they just eat them secretly in the dormitory? Why, why run so far..."
"Isn't this just waiting to be caught and used as evidence? Haha... Don't you agree..."
"That's right!" The staff member slapped his thigh and echoed loudly: "I think so too!"
"If it hadn't been so convincing and hadn't come with a key—it looked just like the real thing—we wouldn't have bothered to answer!"
"I didn't expect that I would be cheated!"
Seeing that the staff member took over the conversation and diverted the attention of the other trainees, Cheng Xuezhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The other trainees asked curiously, "Is this just a prank?"
"Maybe..." the staff member shrugged, "But we'll lock the storage room again..."
"Just in case, we also locked the doors of all other vacant rooms and collected the keys..." This way, even if someone has bad intentions, they will have no extra space to act.
"I'm almost dead tired from running up and down..."
The staff members kept complaining, while Xia Linxing's body slowly relaxed.
God knows when Xia Linxing heard the words "storage room on the first floor" from the staff just now, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up with a guilty conscience.
It was still System 999 that tried desperately to persuade and comfort him in his mind, constantly telling him that there were no snacks in the utility room on the first floor and that this matter could not be traced back to him. Only then did Xia Linxing slowly calm down and react: Yes, all his snacks had been taken away by a mentor named Xie.
Although he didn't want to admit it, to some extent, Xie Tinglan seemed to have helped him again.
So now there was nothing left in the utility room; even the garbage bags of snacks he had left over were disposed of.
Only then did Xia Linxing relax his tense nerves and no longer jump up at the slightest touch.
However, after calming down, Xia Linxing also discovered some doubts:
He is actually not stupid. For example, when Cheng Xuezhou suddenly shouted just now, although Cheng Xuezhou later stammered and gave a long explanation that sounded very reasonable, Xia Linxing still realized... the real reason why Cheng Xuezhou reacted so strongly.
However, Xia Linxing didn't quite understand: Why did Cheng Xuezhou know about his time in the utility room? Even his teammates, who he had been with day and night for these days, didn't know about his relationship with the utility room. How did Cheng Xuezhou know?
"Because Ling Xiao and Cheng Xuezhou are trainees from the same company..."
A faint voice sounded behind Xia Linxing, scaring Xia Linxing so much that he almost jumped up again.
He turned his head in panic and saw that...the person who spoke was Shen Sibai.
Xia Linxing: “…”
When did Shen Sibai develop the same problem as Xie Tinglan!
He patted his chest, which was beating wildly with fear, and asked Shen Sibai in a low voice: "Why are you here?" The training classroom where Shen Sibai's group was located was quite far from his practice classroom.
"I heard the noise and came to check..." Shen Sibai replied. He raised his chin and motioned Xia Linxing to look at Cheng Xuezhou: "Have you not paid attention to your teammates?"
Xia Linxing smiled embarrassedly.
All his energy was spent on completing the plot tasks and the training of the trainees. Occasionally, he also had to deal with Xie Tinglan who suddenly appeared and often confused him. He really had no energy to pay attention to anything else.
Shen Sibai nodded and continued, "I heard some conversations between Cheng Xuezhou and Ling Xiao when I was eating in the cafeteria before..."
"Cheng Xuezhou originally wanted to choose 'Twilight Beach' and be in the same group with Ling Xiao."
"As a result, because you and I swapped the order and you chose 'Twilight Beach' first, Cheng Xuezhou started to hold a grudge against you..."
"So Ling Xiao also dislikes you..."
The easiest way to maintain a relationship between two people is to like the same things, or hate the same things.
So it was probably because of this that Ling Xiao told Cheng Xuezhou about Xia Linxing; and Cheng Xuezhou, who was already dissatisfied with Xia Linxing, secretly paid attention to Xia Linxing and then discovered Xia Linxing's little secret.
"Ah..." Xia Linxing suddenly realized. So that's how it was... No wonder Cheng Xuezhou was so sarcastic to him when he went on stage to select the second public performance groups...
"You have to be more careful next time, okay?"
Chen Sibai reached out and stroked the fluffy little curls, then calmly began to smuggle in his "private goods": "When you're craving something, don't sneak out to eat, and don't look for any tutor (Xie Tinglan: Just say my name)..."
“It’s safest to go back to the dormitory (to eat)…”
"Remember?"
Xia Linxing said "Oh" and raised his head: "Then can I have another box of self-heating hot pot tonight?"
At noon today, he hesitated for a long time between the tomato hotpot and the spicy hotpot, but finally reluctantly gave up the spicy hotpot and chose the tomato hotpot. So if there was a chance, Xia Linxing still wanted to eat the spicy hotpot.
“Is it okay?” He looked at Shen Sibai with sparkling eyes.
Under such an eye attack, no one could refuse Xia Linxing.
So did Shen Sibai.
So he rubbed the curly-haired girl and said as a matter of course: "Of course..." It was just a small hot pot -
It’s just a small box of hot pot!
When Shen Sibai stood breathlessly in the emergency room, he couldn't understand how things had turned out like this...
